Death of General Logan.


Senator John A. Logan died at his
residence in Washington at three min
utes~ before p. M, on December 26th
His death came with startling sudden
ness to his friends and family, as it was
not anticipated by his physicians for
some time longer. However, the Turk
ing tendency to brain complications
which had been present in a greater or
less degree with constantly increasing
severity led them to expect the worst
Shortly after the sad event became
known the front of the residence was
lined with carriages conveying sympa
thetic callers. The remains were con-
veyed to the Capitol on the 30th in
slant amid the silence of thousands in
the rotunda The deceased was born in
Jackson county, H., February 9, 1926.
Mr.. John D. Spreckels, in speaking of
the death of General Logan, said to a
"Call'' reporter: 81 believe our country
has sustained great loss in the death of
General Logan, loss, in fact, that it
will be difficult to overcome He has
always been man prominent in public
life, and his well-known integrity has
many times reflected itself in wise coun-
sci in the halls of Congress. While
did not personally have the pleasure of
meeting him while here during the en-
campment, yet l recollect how cordially
our people received him, and 1 believe
it was well deserved. l do not call to
mind anyone in the ranks of the Repub-
lican leaders who can fill the vacancy
caused by General Logan's death, and it
will no doubt require considerable study
to solve the problem His loss will be
keenly felt in his own State, which he
has so faithfully served for years, but as
soldier and statesman the whole country
will mourn and keep him and his career
alive in memory

That Little shepau& Road and What
 1t Did.

kG D10s
 The recent sale of the Shepaug Valley (Ct.) railroad calls up 8 sorry story familiar to many New England town that went into the railroad business in the times when the fever for such enterprises was highest. The Shepaug line is 8 little affair, but it gouged Litch6eld and the few surrounding towns out of cold $1, ,500, 900 before Colonel Starbuek bought it. People along that valley had an idea that railroad was all that was needed to develop the section and fringe the streams with factories. So the line was surveyed, and after individual citizens had subscribed for all the stock they would the towns affect ed held big and enthusiastic meetings and took the rest of the issue, $215, 400 worth Altogether $500, ,000 worth of stock was is- sued to towns and individuals Then rich and poor alike fairly elbowed each other in the effort to buy first mortgage bonds at 85 and second mortgage at 50-all considered great bargains and sure investment But the road failed to develop the marvellous resources of the Shepaug valley; it did not even pay interest on the first mortgage; it was for a long time unable even to meet operating ex- penses. Then came foreclosure on the part of the second mortgage, the issue of new stock and, recently, foreclosure of the first mortgage and the issue of $600,000 in stock to represent bonds and accumulated interest The road, in it's history of seventeen years, has cost these towns some $1 ,602 ,000, includ- ing interest on the various investments. In return it has paid a small dividend on certif- cates, $35, 900 recently distributed among the stockholders and the $250, 900 or so that Colonel Starbuck has paid for t.-Springfeld Republican.

On that day Philadelphia will once more be the central attraction of the people of the United States This time it will be the centennial of the adoption of the consti- tuition. Representative militia from every State in the Union will be present to partici- pate in the exercises.

The Correct Ttvne.

There are very few men who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time; and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are devised to enable them to do so But
 the more delicate a chronometer is made the more subject it becomes to derangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean it soon loses it's usefulness. What wonder then that the human machine-so much more delicate and intricate than any work of man-should require to be thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the handspring of this complex structure, and on the impuri- ties left in the blood by disordered liver depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to-.
 Even consumption (which is lung scrofula), is traceable to the imperfect action of this organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart disease, dropsy and long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in torpid or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing a healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as cure and preventive of these diseases

In Which New Britain ts Deeply Inter.
 ested-A Coming City Election.
 New Britain is agitated over a sewer prob lem and $50, ,000 appropriation question. It interests people there almost as much as the Derby railroad question does people down here, but there they have no State House question lying back always in reserve ready to be sprung upon an unsuspecting public at any moment. The New Britain correspond ent of the Hartford Courant says regarding the sewer business and further regarding a coming city election in New Britain: It is to be hoped that the city meeting Monday evening will be largely attended. It is ru- mored that an attempt will be made by cer- tain interested Democrats, who have an axe to grind, to increase the amount of the ap- propriation for sewerage to $50,000, thus making the Hartford avenue sewer scheme more easy of accomplishment.
 The names prominently mentioned in con- nection with the Republican nomination for Mayor are the present acting Mayor, L. Hoyt Pease. and Thomas s. Hall. Either gentle man would make an excellent Mayor.

A Word About Catarrh.

1t is the mucous membrane, that wonderful sem-fuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, duIing the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell tainting the breath. and killing the refined pleasures of taste. IDSdiousy by creeping from a simple cold in the head, it as- saults the membranous lining and envelops the ing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will health to the patient and all alleviatives are simply procrasti- mated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure, by inhalation and by in- ternal administration, has never failed; when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered and the disease thoroughly driven out. '
 Each packet contains one bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an IM- PROVED INHALER, with treatise and directions, and is sold by all druggists for $1.00.
